It may be good to know that your driving habits aren’t quite to blame for all the air pollution in Hollywood and beyond today, but the fact remains that cars can be dangerous. If you, or a loved one, have been injured in a car accident and need a Hollywood car accident attorney. Call us Today.

Diesel Fumes No Longer the Main Cause of Air Pollution

While we may think that diesel fumes, and emissions from cars, trucks and other vehicles in general, are the main contributor to air pollution, a recent study carried out by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has revealed that this isn’t the case. In fact, when the research group assessed the air around Los Angeles, it was found that the main cause of air pollution is, in fact, the cleaning products and similar chemicals we use around the home.

How Your Cleaning Impacts the Environment

You may be surprised to learn that a massive 42% of the most dangerous particles found in Los Angeles air originated from consumer products, while 19% came from industrial products. Vehicle emissions, fuel storage facilities and filling stations made up the remaining 39%. This shows that, while those vehicle emissions we’ve all been preoccupied with are still a significant risk factor, they’re no longer the main cause of air pollution. The researchers found that chemicals used in common household products appeared to become more harmful when they made their way outside of the home and reacted with sunlight and nitrous oxides.

However, don’t rush to give up your regular cleaning products just yet, as more research will be required before this is considered definitive proof.

Car Accidents and Related Dangers

It may be good to know that your driving habits aren’t quite to blame for all the air pollution in Hollywood and beyond today, but the fact remains that cars can be dangerous. Or, to put it more accurately, people failing to pay due care and attention while in charge of a car is still dangerous. Every one of us has seen enough car accidents to know that’s true.

There are various reasons why a car accident may occur, including:

Distracted driving, including that caused by texting, taking a phone call, or eating

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs

Having a medical emergency, such as a seizure, while in control of a vehicle

Road rage

Speeding

Driving on unfamiliar roads

Tiredness

You may think that you’re not at risk of being injured in a car accident, but so did the victims our Hollywood car accident attorneys have won over $100,000,000 in jury verdicts and settlements for. Did you know that around 60 accidents per day on average involve a vehicle crashing into a building? That means you don’t even need to be on the roads, or walking nearby, to be at risk.
